Pleurotus Waves Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Visit hollyholston.com/art for higher resolution images. I’m a graduate of BA Photography from the Arts University Bournemouth. Since graduating in 2017, I have been London and Bristol based until moving to Australia in 2022. My artwork is inspired by psychedelia, science and esoteric spiritualism. Through photography and digital manipulation, I create abstract ‘orbs’ that aim to transcend our usual realms of perception. My process involves capturing photos of organic matter, often using macro techniques, then glitching and layering in post-production to birth strange and beautiful landscapes of unfamiliar worlds. A circular format is recurring throughout the artwork; it’s symbolism has infinite implications of the microcosm and macrocosm, both telescopic and microscopic views, depicting the form of vast celestial bodies as well as the smallest cells and embryos. My art is directly influenced by my passion for nature and interest in philosophy, as seen in my subject matter and conceptual reasoning respectively.
